these are adorable! R~

i have that issue and read all about your wedding...AMAZING..i love it!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! R~

thanks for sharing...loved it! R~

my husband (I JUST LOVE SAYING THAT) and i got married at home..in TX you have that as a choice. i wanted to avoid the courthouse at all cost... we used a great officiant and he came to our home and married us. it was just the two of us and it was the most intimate and loving ceremony, ever. i lit candles, put up a few of our destination wedding decorations (check out my planning thread for pics) and we had our ceremony in the comforts and privacy of our own home. today is actually one month since our at home ceremony. getting the legal part out of the way will save us hundreds when we jump the broom in jamaica plus my husband got the small, intimate ceremony that he wanted and i get the big splashy beach affair in 5 weeks... i always knew i was among one of the luckiest girls on earth...i got the guy AND i get to marry him twice...woo hoo!!! as always, happy planning, all!! R~

good evening, ladies! since my day is fast approaching and my OOT bags are complete, i'm now focusing on decor... this weekend i finishing blinging out some shells and remaining starfish...so here are a few pics... until next time, happy planning!! R~

love it all!!! R~

love the lanterns. R~

nice job..i especially like the fact that "Joshua" signed the welcome letter...nice touch to include your kiddo.. LOVE it!!! congrats on some great OOT bags..i bet your guests will love em. R~

you're too sweet... there's a wealth of DIY info online...i simply love marthastewart.com and most of her wedding DIY projects were inspiration for me... thanks for the encouraging words...stay tuned. R~

hey tropical love... if i were you..i'd head to the disco and enjoy the free DJ... as for the upgrades...ask when you get there..oftentimes, they'll upgrad you with no problem...depending on availability... i visited the suites last year and was upgraded upon check in...all of the rooms are beautiful...so i imagine the rooms at the grand will be just as if not more luxurious... you can't go wrong with any room...afterall, you're at iberostar in jamaica, mon! enjoy!!! until next time, HAPPY PLANNING!! r~

beachbum..there's a few brides who've done that..i think daisymable might've been one of em... can't remember but there were a few... good luck!! btw..the resort isn't heavily populated..you might find if you do a private event or reception that you could avoid the need for going offsite...jamaica is a very poor country..and frankly, off site doesn't always look as tranquil or relaxing a on-site. R~

loving ALL of the etsy finds... simply beautiful!!! congrats, all!!! R~

hey ladies! not sure if ya'll know about the iberostar rosehall traveling starfish sisterhood..but its well underway and if you'd like to participate..head over to FB and search for the iberostar rosehall traveling starfish sisterhood for the scoop..and to join the 'sisterhood'... the first few brides have participated and its going well... if you're looking for 'something borrowed' this would be an excellent way to 'check that off' the list. as always, until next time, happy planning!!! R~

almost a month away, tori! i'm starting to panic a little as i still have quite a few DIY projects to complete..but next week..the OOTs will be delivered..that is, if the DC area doesn't fall into the atlantic with hurricane irene coming and aftershocks... oh my!!! please keep me and mine in prayer. THANKS!!!! R~

good day, ladies! after conferring with the hubby..i've decided to include the starfish magnets in our OOT/welcome/pre-boarding travel bags..here's a peak at how they look with our other OOT/welcome/pre-boarding travel items. and a peak at our OOT/welcome/pre-boarding travel bags....with our FREE jamaica tourist guides, jamaica tourist newspaper and jamaica bag packs!!! woo hoo!!! the full list and pics of the contents of our OOT/welcome/pre-boarding travel bags will be posted in my final planning thread. until next time...happy planning!! R~

just sent you a PM.... hope what i want is still available... THANKS!!! R~

jwed...love, i didn't realize you were in baltimore..my honey is from baltimore so i was calling all over the DMV (DC, MD and VA) area yesterday...had the darndest time reaching folks...THANK GOD FOR TEXT MESSAGES!!! woo...it was a little scary. i'm visiting there next week and i'll be stomping around the DMV dropping off our OOT bags..can't wait.. uhm, ok..focus..the starfish were dyed purple...then i handpainted each with martha stewart glitter paint..sold at my favorite store, michaels. its like $2.99/bottle..less than that with this week's 40% off coupon..the stuff is freakin' amazing..its included in one of the pics on here...that i took during the painting process. the paint comes in all sorts of colors..i used a purple one and a silver..i'll upload pics of the silver starfish in a bit...i haven't made those into magnets but i might. lol! well, be safe, love! as always, happy planning!! R~

LOVE IT, LOVE IT...LOVE..LOVE IT!!! BRAVO on a FANTASTIC JOB!!! R~

lol...a countdown...uhm, we're 6 weeks out..i'll likely post them about a week before departure...so, you've got about 5 weeks before the 'unveiling'... the magnets aren't going in the OOT bags, rather they will be used as part of the reception decor and guests can decide to take them home as 'favors' along with our CD favor. i'm sooooo loving the magnets though..they were SUPER easy to make!! and fairly cost efficient too. until next time, happy planning!! R~

thanks, love..they're great!!! all are safe and sound... i just LOVE my magnets...really easy to make...a hot glue gun and some magnets...woo hoo!!!
